Taking charge of the challenge: Factors to consider in taking your first nurse practiti... - 1 views

  •  
    The following is the abstract as stated by the author: "Purpose: To describe factors that ensure a smooth transition from nurse practitioner (NP) student to independent NP during the first year of practice. Data sources: Two contrasting case examples, the authors' experiences, and selected professional literature. Conclusions: Key points to consider upon searching or taking a first NP job include patient, colleague, and clinic factors. Patient factors include mix of patient presentations, complexity of patient presentations, insurance status, and population. Colleague factors include mentorship, charting, mix of providers, and availability of providers. Perhaps most importantly, clinic factors include productivity expectations, practice mission, charting systems, on-call requirements, supervision of other staff, and teaching status. Together, these factors can largely determine whether an NP's days are satisfying or frustrating in a new job. Implications for practice: The transition from NP student to independent NP can be daunting. Although nursing schools and practice sites have responsibilities to ensure the transition is smooth, the new NP is ultimately responsible for the transition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]"

Economic benefits of less restrictive regulation of advanced practice nurses in North C... - 2 views

  •  
    The researchers in this article focused on analyzing what kind of economic impact that giving APRNs full scope of practice in North Carolina would have. They calculated the impact by first projecting the increase in APRN graduates choosing to work in the state after full scope would be awarded. Projections of the increase in demand for providers due to both the ACA and an aging population were also taken into consideration. The findings in this analysis were that giving APRNs full scope of practice in the state would benefit the economy with increased output, employment, and tax revenue all while decreasing provider shortages. The state could save upwards of $495 million in gross product annually.
  •  
    Hopefully, results such as these will give other states with more restrictive policies incentive to change their practice guidelines.

    This is an interesting article that conducted a lit review to see how expanding the scope of practice for APRNs would affect health care delivery and costs in Ohio. Although it is specific to Ohio, the lit review they did highlights many benefits to full practice authority that could be generalized to any state.

    This article highlights the changes in policy that are needed to enable nurse practitioners their full scope of practice in a way that benefits patients and families at end-of-life. Nurse practitioners need the ability to practice to their full scope of practice, including providing autonomous care, receiving adequate and equal reimbursement for services, and having the authority to prescribe controlled substances II through V. Nurses also need to endorse policies that require specialized education so they receive the knowledge and skills necessary to be leaders in end-of-life care.

Overview and Summary: APRN Roles: Opportunities and Challenges for Practice and Education - 0 views

  •  
    This article discusses the challenges in standardizing the APRN scope and practice in order to increase the mobility between states for practicing APRNs. It also would increase access to APRN care nationwide. After the signing of the Affordable Care Act, there was an increase in care provided and the need for nurse practitioners increased with that.The Federal Trade Commission found that mandatory physician supervision for nurse practitioners led to higher costs and reduced quality of care.

    This article explores how restrictions on CNM scope of practice affect health outcomes. Scope of practice laws were found to be neither helpful nor harmful regarding health outcomes. However, states without scope of practice barriers for CNMs had lower rates of induced labor and cesarean deliveries.

The impact of the ACA and shortage of PCPs to meet this demand is also explored. Enjoy!
